Summary

The kernel in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2 and SP3, Server 2003 SP2, Vista Gold, SP1, and SP2, and Server 2008 SP2 does not properly validate changes to unspecified kernel objects, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka "Windows Kernel Desktop Vulnerability."

descriptionThe remote host contains a version of the Windows kernel that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - A failure of the Windows kernel to properly validate changes in certain kernel objects allows a local user to run arbitrary code in kernel mode. (CVE-2009-1123) - Insufficient validation of certain pointers passed from user mode allows a local user to run arbitrary code in kernel mode. (CVE-2009-1124) - A failure to properly validate an argument passed to a Windows kernel system call allows a local user to run arbitrary code in kernel mode. (CVE-2009-1125) - Improper validation of input passed from user mode to the kernel when editing a specific desktop parameter allows a local user to run arbitrary code in kernel mode. (CVE-2009-1126)
